The present volume dedicated to Arnold Esch on the occasion of his
65th birthday and retirement from the post of Director of the
German Historical Institute in Rome by friends, colleagues and
former students from many different countries centres around topics
of significance both to the dedicatee himself and the research
fields that have benefited from his work: the historian and the
present, Rome and the Popes, art and artists, traditions and texts
casting light on life and individual destinies on both sides of the
Alps. The purview of Arnold Esch's research concerns has always
been broad and this is reflected in the range of subjects addressed
here: from the Middle Ages to the present, lives and posterities,
art and history, economics and archeology. Common to all is the
concern with Italy's place within Europe, with emphasis on the
concrete and the graphic and the broad perspective, in the way that
Esch himself has always preferred. The works in which he has
demonstrated this predilection are listed in the catalogue of his
writings.
Die Magna Carta von 1215 gehoert zu den bekanntesten Dokumenten des
Mittelalters. Sie ist das Ergebnis einer Auseinandersetzung
zwischen Koenigtum und Adel in England, deren Vorgeschichte mehrere
Jahrzehnte zuruckreicht. Die Kernursache dieses Konflikts war die
Intensivierung der Koenigsherrschaft in der Zeit Heinrichs II. und
seiner Soehne Richard I. Loewenherz und Johann Ohneland. Der Adel
kritisierte den Koenig insbesondere wegen seiner Nutzung von
Lehensverhaltnissen als fiskalische Quelle. Diese Studie leuchtet
die Vorgeschichte der Magna Carta durch eine systematische
Untersuchung eines der bemerkenswertesten Quellenbestande des 12.
Jahrhunderts aus, der Pipe Rolls des englischen Rechnungshofes
(Exchequer).
